More Information

W32/Sdbot-ADH is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.

W32/Sdbot-ADH spreads to other network computers infected with: Troj/Kuang, Troj/Sub7, Troj/NetDevil and W32/MyDoom.

W32/Sdbot-ADH runs continuously in the background, providing a backdoor server which allows a remote intruder to gain access and control over the computer via IRC channels.

When first run W32/Sdbot-ADH copies itself to <System>\ujm.exe and creates the file <System>\keylog.txt.

The following registry entries are created to run ujm.exe on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Java Auto Update
ujm.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
